Is this the front of Apple’s next-generation iPad?

There’s been plenty of murmuring that Apple is working on a retooled fifth-generation iPad that’s sporting the same design language as the iPad Mini and iPhone 5 . The folks over at nowhereelse think that they’ve snagged a picture of the white facia for the latest iteration of the slate — and the site does have prior form in this department . The biggest difference compared to the third and fourth generation devices is the narrower bezel that runs down the sides and those chamfered shiny edges, Word of the Day fans.

Intel looking to turbocharge its NUC with Core i5 and i7 CPUs, according to leak

It looks like Intel’s planning on bringing its Next Unit of Computing (NUC) mini-computer upmarket, if a leaked roadmap from ComputerBase.de is to be believed. The documents look highly tentative, but if they come to fruition then Intel will start offering new NUCs (code-named “Skull Canyon” and “Horse Canyon”) with Intel Core i7-3537U and Core i5-3427U processors along with its current Core i3 model during the first half of the year. New motherboards would be used that alter the slot configurations substantially: the Thunderbolt connector would be dropped in favor of USB 3.0 — three on the i7 model, one on the i5 — with DisplayPort 1.1a added to each along with HDMI 1.4a connectors. There’s no pricing yet, but we found that you’d need to nearly double the price of the original NUC to create a working computer, so bear that in mind when you’re looking at the leaked slides after the break.

As for that round of major OS revamps , Foley says that’s still on track and should begin to rollout sometime this summer. Filed under: Software , Microsoft Comments Source: CNet
